Firstly, my condolences and congratulations Tracker - good luck with rehab.
Secondly, I too want to hear more details of mzkitty's little marching band massacree..... Does it start with: "This one time, at band camp...."?????
I played drums and I had the large bass drum, lost my footing, tripped and ended up in the middle of a domino effect of band dorks. I fell into the people on one side, knocking them over and tripped up the people behind me and they all fell into me. I ended up with a guy who weighed about 300lbs, plus his drum on my left knee, a person a few people up from me knocked over the tuba player and his hand kinda got caught in the tuba and fractured his arm. There were a few others who need stitches. It was bad and I still haven't quite lived it down almost 20 years later. I can't listen to the theme from Jurassic Park without cringing to this day.
Wow, that's actually really terrible! I was a drummer in marching band (and 70's - 90's rock bands), and can understand very well how this could happen. Sorry to hear so many people were affected and of your continued trauma! Hopefully people didn't begrudge your slip, do you still play drums?
It was my freshman year, so I got 4 full years crap over it. It was homecoming too... It was kind of a nightmare, but in hindsight, it was really very funny. My mom still loves telling that story and my best friend, who was a sax player, randomly sends me dvd's of Jurassic Park.
I still play drums. As the moment, I am the drummer for my 15 year old son's punk band, you know until they can find someone else
. Mainly I just stick with playing lots of jazz, blues, and classic rock with my husband who is a guitar player.

Sorry you had to go through the car accident but glad your ok and vaping away!
Hope your knee heals well.
Hope your knee heals well.
Congrats
I would be crazy by now.
I got the flu last weekend. Worked Mon. and Tues.
Took yesterday and the rest of the week off and I'm nuts already.
Well I've always been nuts but that's a story for another day.

I've done the rounds as drummer in my two son's "bands" (they are 18 and 15 now), but for some reason, they don't seem to appreciate the drumming styles of Keith Moon and Jon Bonham.
I had always hear the quote was: "That which doesn't kill us... raises our insurance premiums" ?
Grats, Tracker! And best wishes for a full and quick recovery!
